Oh my god it´s an sline. I probably would kill him, but just as the others said, damage can be fixed, but the relation to that guy is cracked up for sure.

A few things to be aware of Chris in the UK:
1) If your driveway is private (ie the general public have no right of way - ie you have a locked gate or something that prevents access) then the police don't have to investigate. They only have a duty if it is public land or a public highway. 2) If it is private he doesn't need to be insured but if it is public then he must be insured. (This may have changed recently though.) 3) Without a witness insurance companies seem to prefer 50/50 or knock-for-knock. Avoid this as you were not at fault. 4) Apart from the photos of your car take photos of his to try to establish guilt. Works particularly well if the impact on yours is on the side and his is on the front/rear. Unless you've learnt how to drive sideways he MUST have hit you . 5) You may want to claim against him direct - get him to pay personally for the repairs, lease car etc rather then go through insurance and waste time and possibly lose your NCB. Hope it works out quickly for you - these things are really annoying and cause a huge amount of inconvenience. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Aaah so the boy was guilty after all, and the mother practically confirmed it!
One thing that bugs me is that I don't see why his mother can't just pay a full cost of the repair and get it over with? I can think only to answers to that: 1. They don't have enough money 2. They are tight on the money -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

... However!! ... an interesting twist! tonight whilst putting my daughter to bed and doing the usual bedtime story stuff, ... You're a nicer calmer person then me mate. Last time this sort of thing happened to me (not including when my wife prangs the car) I also did my little un's bedtime story that night. She stopped me part way through to ask why Sheltie the Pony was going to kick 7 kinds out of the 'bad' tractor driver. Guess I got carried away a bit . Best of luck with getting them to fess up mate - looks like they're about to cave in for you . -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

I see mate, things are a bit more complicated. Nevertheless, I hope everything will be OK and you get a fair deal in the end. Good luck

Hmm.. could it be also in britain that youngsters that are involved in an accident by automatic will have their licence withdrawn? I think we have something like that here where they can't get billed once for violating traffic law.
Maybe risking his license, knowing he knocked your car while driving under influence, and knowing it's gonna cost will make him never confess even if he got caught with a smoking gun. And why just pay half??? Why should you pay anything for something you didn't do?? Keep the news coming! -------------------- My bands homepage

Good news Chris.
What I don't get is why she would pay the money out of her pocket. She must have insurance, and the insurance will pay for the damage. That's why car insurance exists, and that's why we pay for it! Why wouldn't she just do what everyone does, call the insurance company, and let them pay?! -------------------- Guitars:
